Zinedine Zidane could be sacked in the near future
Zinedine Zidane’s future as Real Madrid’s head coach is in doubt this campaign, and midfielder Toni Kroos says it won’t be long before that debate resurfaces. The German World Cup winner is well aware of the pressure that comes with managing and playing for Los Blancos. So he believes such discussions are inevitable. “The coach has been talked about three to four times and will come up again the next time we lose. I don’t need to worry about that,” Kroos said. Kroos feels Real Madrid must win their next three league games to pressure LaLiga leaders Atlético Madrid. “These nine points are also mandatory, in my opinion. We must not forget about our objective,” he noted.
“These are three games we have to win, and we haven’t won enough this season. You know how quickly you can get back into the talk after a negative result. The team played a good game against Valencia in terms of football quality, and hopefully, we can take it with us into the coming weeks. That is the deciding factor. When it comes to travelling in the current climate of fear around COVID-19, Kroos believes there are sufficient safety measures. You are training four or five times a week,” he said. “You live in a bubble. When you travel, you are very careful.” When asked if the 2021 European Championship will go forward, Kroos was optimistic. “Some solution will be found, but my feeling at least tells me that it will not take place in twelve countries.”
